[AGL] the legacy of Jim Strong

[Frances Morey]

Michele,
  Sometimes people do uncharacteristic things at the keyboard that they would otherwise not even consider. I had one friend who actually slumped over on the keyboard dead. It is okay to go off list with sensitive remarks and inquiries. I remember seeing the post in question and it could have been interpreted the way either party described it. It's all a matter of interpretation. But re-publishing same at this time would be obnoxious to an extrapolating fault and I sincerely hope Michael will let it rest. Digging up such manure at a time like this is indelicate to say the least.
  I wish this line of discussion could stop here and now.
  I thought of Billy Jim a lot since I heard the sad news. What is most missed is his wealth of knowledge and his wit.
  Frances
